USD to ARS Exchange Rate History — Argentina
Over the past 90 days, the USD to Argentine Peso parallel (black market) rate moved from about 1,450 ARS on Jun 5, 2026 to 1,496 ARS on Jun 6, 2026 — a change of +3.2%. Across that window the Argentine Peso weakened against the dollar, trading between a low of 1,450 and a high of 1,498 ARS, averaging 1,495 ARS per US dollar.
Argentina's "dólar blue" exists because the cepo limits official dollar access — alongside financial rates like the MEP and CCL.
How to read the ARS rate history
The chart plots the parallel buy rate — how many ARS it took to buy one US dollar — at each point we recorded. The daily table below lists the closing buy and sell rate for each day, while the monthly table summarises the average, high and low for each month, which is useful for comparing one period with another.
A rising line means the Argentine Peso is losing value (more ARS per dollar); a falling line means it is gaining. Over this window the spread between the high (1,498) and the low (1,450) shows how volatile the market has been — here, roughly 0.4% around the average.
What has moved the Argentine Peso recently?
In Argentina, the parallel rate is driven by factors such as strict capital controls (the "cepo"), persistent high inflation, distrust of the peso. When dollars become scarcer or confidence falls, the street rate climbs ahead of the official Central Bank of Argentina (BCRA) rate; when supply improves or policy tightens, the gap can narrow again.
Because the parallel rate often moves before official devaluations, its history is a useful early-warning record — a steadily rising trend frequently precedes an official adjustment, while a long plateau suggests relative stability.
Using historical ARS rates
Historical rates help with budgeting, invoicing, remittance planning and spotting trends, but they are not a forecast — past movements do not guarantee future ones. For the live rate, see our main USD to ARS page, and use the converter for exact amounts.
